Strunzite is a mineral confirmed as a distinct species in 1957, and previously thought to be laurite. Strunzite has the same chemical makeup of laurite and pseudolaurite but has a monocliniccrystal system. Strunzite is a hydrated phosphate of manganese and ferric iron and appears as coatings and tufts on the surface of granitepegmatite where it formed through the alteration of primary triphylite.
